Francesca is the wife of Robert Underdunk Terwilliger, better known as Sideshow Bob. She first appears in the season 17 episode "The Italian Bob", when Sideshow Bob moved to Italy to get away from Bart for a fresh start. He became the mayor of a small Tuscan village and married Francesca, with whom he had a son called Gino, although Sideshow Bob never told her, or indeed anyone about his murderous past. However, when the Simpsons visited Italy, Lisa got drunk at a feast and told the whole town of the things he had done. After being thrown out of his village, Bob swore a vendetta against the Simpsons, which Francesca surprisingly encouraged, saying that they brought dishonor to the whole family, and helped her husband try (and fail) to kill them at the Collosium. The second episode she appears in is season 19 "Funeral for a Fiend, when Sideshow Bob faked his own death in a complicated plot to murder Bart, she assumed the role of the weeping widow. She is voiced by Maria Grazia Cucinotta.
